The Method Behind the Training

Rooted in Sheila Granger’s VGB Teachings

This training builds on the VGB materials Michael received from Sheila Granger, with permission to adapt and teach them. The core approach is paired with personalized planning, practical demonstrations, and clear follow-up.

Michael brings more than a decade of hypnosis experience to the training. Supporting tools are clearly distinguished from the core VGB procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Will It Take to Complete the Training?

Study the online lessons at your own pace, then allow time for practice, assessment submissions, feedback, and any corrections. Certification follows accepted knowledge and practical assessments and instructor approval, rather than a fixed number of days.

Who Is This Training Designed For?

This training is for adults who have completed foundational hypnosis practitioner training and can competently manage consent, induction, observation, responsive delivery, and a clear session close. It builds on those skills. If you are unsure whether your background meets the entry requirements, contact Michigan Hypnosis Institute before enrolling.

Can I Use the Resources With My Clients?

Yes. You may personalize resources expressly designated for client use with your own clients, following their attribution and license terms. Your enrollment does not include resale, PLR, account sharing, or permission to use this course to train other practitioners. The enrollment terms explain the resource-use boundaries.

Is the Training Based on Sheila Granger’s Materials?

Yes. The core VGB teaching is based on the materials Michael received from Sheila Granger, with permission to adapt and teach them. Michigan Hypnosis Institute adds session planning, practical demonstrations, assessment, and clearly identified supporting tools. This is an MHI practitioner training.

What Access and Support Are Included?

Your enrollment includes personal study access to the purchased course edition, course questions, and feedback on the required assessment work. Individual client supervision, personal coaching, future live workshops, and other courses are separate services unless your order expressly includes them. The enrollment terms explain access, assessment, and resource use.

How Do I Earn My Practitioner Certificate?

Complete the required learning, knowledge assessment, case plan, practical demonstrations, support-recording work, and reflection. The knowledge target is 80%, with designated critical corrections resolved. An MHI assessor must accept the required practical evidence and record final approval before certificate release. Enrollment or lesson completion alone does not issue a certificate.

What If the Training Is Not the Right Fit?

Your online enrollment includes a 30-day money-back guarantee if you have taken no more than one-third of the course and no practitioner certificate has been issued. Request a refund within 30 calendar days after your first course access through the course support route. Read the Enrollment Terms for the full conditions.
